NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) – Transit Police are hoping you can help them find a man they say sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl at the New Westminster SkyTrain station four months ago.
It happened Wednesday, April 24, 2013 when the girl was walking up the stairs to the platform.
Two men walked past her; police say one of them said something to the girl and then fondled her. The two men then laughed and left the station.
Surveillance footage shows the men entered a nearby liquor store after the assault. Video also shows the men originally boarded a train at Stadium SkyTrain Station at about 8:25 p.m.
The suspect is described as a white male, 25 years old, 5’8″-5’9″, and 170-180 lbs. He has very short light brown hair with a receding hair line, was clean shaven, and spoke with a Russian accent.
He wore a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with “HOLLISTER CALIFORNIA” printed on the front, light-coloured jeans and black “skater” style shoes.
If you have any information, you’re asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300 or Crime Stoppers.
